Free and unlimited DV certificates: Actalis becomes Europe’s reference point for ACME-based web security
A safer, more accessible digital ecosystem for everyone: that’s the vision behind Actalis’s new initiative. As part of the Aruba Group, Actalis now offers free and unlimited Domain Validated (DV) SSL certificates, available through the ACME (Automatic Certificate Management Environment) protocol. This move puts Actalis on par with global leaders in automated certificate issuance – while standing apart through its guarantee of full European governance, transparency and regulatory compliance.
Why this is a strategic move
In a market where digital security is evolving rapidly – with shorter certificate lifespans, growing automation, and infrastructure built on “security by design” – the ability to issue free, unlimited DV certificates through automation is a game-changer. It’s not just a breakthrough for those managing complex systems. It also empowers SMEs, developers, hosting providers and e-commerce businesses with a simple, reliable and fully compliant solution – without compromise.
Actalis: the European benchmark for a safer, more accessible web
With Actalis, your web security is backed by a European root CA, along with servers and data centers located entirely within the EU.
With over a decade of trusted experience in the field of digital trust services, Actalis has earned recognition from IT professionals across Europe. Its expertise, stability and regulatory alignment make it more than just a technical solution – it’s a values-based choice, built on transparency and the protection of users’ digital rights.
Barrier-free automation with ACME
Thanks to the ACME protocol – now established as an international standard – you can automate the issuance, renewal and revocation of DV certificates directly from your development environments, hosting platforms or cloud systems. With a simple ACME client, you can enable HTTPS by default across your services, avoiding the complexity and overhead of manual processes.
The result? Streamlined operations for system integrators, faster implementation for developers, fewer errors and the confidence of always providing users with a compliant and up-to-date layer of security.
Digital sovereignty: free and unlimited DV certificates with ACME
One of Actalis’ core goals is to make digital security accessible to everyone – across Europe and beyond.
By offering free, unlimited DV certificates via ACME, Actalis positions itself as a reliable European alternative in the global certificate market. This initiative supports the growth of a digital ecosystem built on trust, transparency and regulatory compliance. It breaks down barriers to HTTPS adoption – and because it’s fully free and backed by a European authority, it appeals to those who believe in an open, secure internet governed by clear and accountable rules.
